this will never happen.

The House and, Senate Republicans, will only agree to extending the tax cuts for everyone, the wealthy included. In fact I would be surprised if they wouldn't agree to extending the tax cuts for the wealthy while shafting everyone else.

We will face an Armageddon with these clowns. Either you extend for everyone (or maybe just for the job creators) or taxes go up on everyone.

While a terrific idea, Republican lawmakers will never let this happen.
